• Our new research looks at how much Australian teenagers are reading for leisure, and how we can help them read more.

Our study

• At first, we specifically looked at book reading.
• Our survey showed showed 15% of students read daily, while 10% read four to six times a week.
• This last figure is broadly similar to our smaller 2016 survey which found 29% don’t read on a weekly basis and 21% don’t read any books in a month.
• Audiobooks were not popular either, with only 13% listening to audiobooks in their free time.

Why is it so important to read books?

• This is because it improves vocabulary and builds contextual knowledge relevant to study.
• Research also shows it is important to read longer books as opposed to shorter items such as emails or blog posts because sustained reading builds literacy for school success.

The 7 types of teen reader

• Our research, which also included 118 interviews with publishers and booksellers, English teachers and librarians, and 20 focus groups with teenagers, identified seven types of teen readers from our survey results.
• Fiction Fanatics: feel very positive about reading and read daily with a strong preference for fiction, and they read even more during holidays.
• They make up 12% of teen readers.
• They make up 10% of teen readers.
• They make up 10% of teen readers.

How can you help the teen in your life to read more?

• What do these categories mean for parents and teachers who want to help the teens in their life to read more?
• While Fiction Fanatics have an excellent idea of what they like, teens who read less often lack familiarity with the types of fiction available.
• So they may need help identifying the genres, themes or formats they might enjoy.
